Chapter 59: Marrow Washing Country (End of this article)
Mo Youli left them.
The child king looked at their backs as they walked away, until they completely disappeared from his sight, and then he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Turning around, he saw a group of people behind him. They had taken off the fine cloth automatically generated by the magic power in the marrow-sucking country, and were wearing clothes made of rough cloth that they had created with their own hands in recent days. They were standing in a straight row behind him.
While he was communicating with Mo Youli, they had been standing behind the Child King, watching him silently. As a result, they heard every word of the conversation between him and Mo Youli.
In the country of marrow-sucking, the child king who had maintained an expressionless face for years, the moment he saw them, his calm and dull eyes suddenly became ripples and emitted a dazzling brilliance.
These people were all awakened ones that were personally selected one by one from within the Marrow-sucking Kingdom by the Child King after he was brought back to the Marrow-sucking Kingdom by the leader.
Such a huge marrow-sucking country with a large population will always produce some pioneers with advanced ideas. They are smart enough, have sharp vision and broad vision.
Although the Marrow-sucking Country has wronged Mo Youli, it is definitely worthy of its people, and the group of people in front of them are also beneficiaries under the protection of the Marrow-sucking Country.
They will definitely discover the problems with the existence of the Marrow-sucking Country at some point, and make plans for this day early, refusing to indulge in the comfort provided by the priestly power, and working hard to learn and develop their own abilities.
Ensure that one day, when the priests' magic power is no longer provided, the Marrow-sucking Kingdom can continue to survive happily.
And now, this day has finally come.
"Everyone, did you hear what the High Priest said?"
The Child King said with a smile.
"I heard it!" everyone responded in unison.
One hundred years, they still have one hundred years to develop! !
They will definitely be able to rebuild a better country within this time!!
The Child King nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Before we act, I have a small suggestion."
After he finished speaking, the Child King looked away and gazed into the distance. In front of him, he saw an elderly man who stared blankly at the direction where Mo Youli and they left for a long time without moving, as if their departure had taken his soul with them.
Under the confused gazes of the crowd, the child king walked quickly and firmly towards the person in charge, stood in front of him and called out to him.
Seeing that the master did not respond, the child king did not care at all. He was quite patient. If there was no response once, he would call out again, again and again, over and over again...
Keep shouting until the soul of the person in charge is willing to come back...
Finally, after a long time, no matter how reluctant he was, the person in charge had to accept the fact that the priest of the Marrow-sucking Country had really left completely. He reluctantly withdrew his longing gaze and closed his eyes resigned to his fate.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already somewhat numb and tired. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the child king, and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want from me?"
Things had come to this point, and he naturally knew that the priests' departure was partly due to the child king's efforts.
He didn't understand why the Child King, now that his goal had been achieved, still came to him? Was he here to laugh at his joke?
Congratulations to him, he achieved his goal.
Without the priests, the head of Lunxun Hall is nothing.
The person in charge couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
"Master, are you willing to join me in saving the imperiled Marrow-Sucking Nation and making it as powerful and prosperous as it once was?"
To the leader's surprise, the child king did not come to laugh at his joke. On the contrary, he came over to express his sincerity and invited the leader to join hands with him to create a better future for the Marrow-sucking Kingdom.
After hearing the Child King's words, the official almost thought he had misheard. He didn't understand: "Why, are you looking for me?"
In the minds of these people, shouldn't he be a character similar to the villain in a play?
"It's simple, because the Marrow-sucking Nation needs you."
The soft light shone on the child king's face. The child king smiled slightly and continued:
"Perhaps others cannot understand, but as someone who has a long life like you, I have seen and remembered every move and every word you make.
In the entire Marrow-sucking Nation, if someone were to ask me who loves Marrow-sucking Nation the most, it would be you.
If you are second, no one is qualified to be first.
Because I know very well that you have spent almost every waking second of your life on the Marrow-sucking Country and have devoted all your energy to it.
Therefore, you must be the one who knows the flaws of the Marrow-sucking Country best, more deeply than any of us.
At the same time, you are the one among us who knows best where the Marrow-sucking Country needs to improve and in which specific direction it should move.
The Marrow-sucking Nation cannot do without you. We need you to guide us.
Therefore, on behalf of all the people of the Marrow-sucking Nation, I sincerely ask you:
Join us and become one of us!"
After he finished speaking, the child king bent down and bowed seriously to the person in charge in front of everyone.
"His Majesty!"
The people watching not far away were shocked by the child king's action and shouted subconsciously.
The chief showed no reaction to the changes around him. He stared straight at the child king, his mind full of thoughts and his eyes kept changing, revealing a hint of emotion.
In his heart, he always thought that the child king was a lazy person, unworthy of his position, who did not govern the country while in the position, enjoying the rights of a king but not fulfilling his obligations.
If the Child King was not the monarch chosen by God, and if the country of marrow-sucking had not had powerful people like priests who served as the strong backing of the entire country to protect the country, he would have wanted to drive the Child King off that position and replace him with someone more outstanding.
Every time he met the Child King, he could not understand God's decision: Why would God choose a lazy person like the Child King to be the king of a country?
Obviously, there are better candidates in their country.
He couldn't understand it, so he simply turned a blind eye. Apart from fulfilling his duty to find their king every few decades, he completely let the king go.
Until today...
He finally took the king of their marrow-sucking country seriously and suddenly realized that their king was actually not a bad person.
Even though he was still very short, in a trance, through this small body, in front of his eyes, he seemed to see a tall and reliable soul, reaching out to him gently.
His king had no powerful magic power and no outstanding intelligence. At the same time, he did not understand human nature and could not calculate.
No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person, but... it is this extremely ordinary person in front of him that makes him see the hope of the Marrow-sucking Country.
He has a heart that is strong and tolerant to the extreme...
"Can."
After a long time, the person in charge pursed his dry lips and spoke slowly.
Seeing that the person in charge was silent, the child king could only sigh inwardly and prepare himself mentally, thinking that he might need to visit the person in charge again and again before he could successfully persuade the person in charge.
Just when he was about to give up temporarily, he heard the promise of the master. This unexpected surprise made the child king instantly happy.
Facing the astonished gaze of the leader, the child king smiled slyly and complacently.
He took a big step forward, fearing that the boss would suddenly change his mind. Regardless of the boss's old body, he took the boss's old and withered hand, and quickly took the boss towards his group of subordinates, eagerly informing the boss that he would join their ranks.
"Your Majesty, is this the proposal you were talking about?"
After everyone was happy about the leader joining them, one of the strong subordinates suddenly stepped forward and asked.
His question just happened to remind the child king.
The Child King smiled and shook his head, denying it:
"No. That's something else I wanted to propose, not this."
The subordinate was puzzled: "What is that?"
"Change the country's name."
"Change the country's name?"
"The name 'Marrow-Sucking Nation' has a bad connotation. Since we've decided to abandon the past and rebuild a better nation, we naturally need to change it to one that's more suitable for the current situation, not too abrupt, and easy for our people to accept."
"From what I hear, Your Majesty, it seems that you have already thought of a suitable name."
"Yes." The child king's eyes softened and he said softly:
"It's called the Marrow Washing Country."
Clear away the impurities of the past, purify the current atmosphere, wash away the mistakes in thinking, repair all the past, and start anew in the future.
A difference of one word can make a huge difference.
——
"Ali, where is this? Now that the matter has been resolved, aren't you planning on going back?"
Mo Youli brought Xu Ren'er and the others out of the Marrow-sucking Kingdom and came to a desolate area surrounded by rocks and no one in sight.
Xu Ren'er looked around and asked.
Mo Youli smiled faintly and looked at Xu Ren'er gently. He checked the area again and confirmed that only his own people were around. Then he slowly said:
“I dispersed most of the power I had left and returned it to the Marrow-Sucking Nation.
However, even so, I have coexisted with these energies for too long, and some of the energy still remains in my body.
So, I thought, maybe I could be selfish for once and use this remaining energy to do something for myself.”
Xu Ren'er didn't respond. Instead, Tang Beiju, who was listening nearby, took up the topic: "What do you want to do?"
Mo Youli looked at Xu Ren'er quietly. No, strictly speaking, he was not looking at Xu Ren'er himself, but at some illusory thing behind Xu Ren'er.
"Ren'er, I don't know which world you come from, but I clearly see that your true soul is an outstanding adult woman with seven ropes of different colors wrapped around her hands, four on her left hand and three on her right.
The four ropes in the left hand, namely red, orange, yellow and green, have been completely broken. Only the four ropes in the right hand, namely cyan, blue and purple, have not been broken.
I think, as long as I use my magic power and cut the three ropes, you will be completely free.
Ren'er, let me help you get rid of this, okay?"
Mo Youli's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.
Among them, Xu Ren'er was the most surprised.
She hadn't expected that the world of madness was so magical that even something as secretive as the requirements of her mission could be roughly figured out.
But, does it really work?
For a moment, Xu Ren'er was a little dazed. She couldn't quite believe that the task that the King of Hell had assigned to her was so simple and could be easily interrupted?
To be honest, she hadn't expected to complete those tasks in the first place. She just let things unfold as they pleased, and somehow she managed to complete four-sevenths of them.
Xu Ren'er was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
There is no point in thinking too much. It is better to practice it yourself and see if you can succeed.
After getting Xu Ren'er's permission, Mo Youli took action directly.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he raised his left hand. Three light balls of different colors popped out from his palm one after another out of thin air.
These light balls are about as wide as an adult's thumb and emit three colors, which correspond exactly to the three colorful ropes that bind Xu Ren'er.
"Ren'er, I'm going to do it."
The next second, three balls of light rushed towards the colorful rope. Through Mo Youli's eyes, as soon as the three balls of light approached the rope, they began to chew the edge of the rope continuously, trying to break one end of the rope by eating it.
It was also at this moment that Xu Ren'er's mind suddenly went blank, her eyes closed, and the next moment, she was pulled into a void space.
This is... the place where she first met the King of Hell.
"Xu Ren'er, congratulations, you have successfully completed the task I assigned to you."
There were two people standing in the space, one was the real-life version of Xu Rener, and the other was naturally the former King of Hell.
The King of Hell had not changed at all, still looking the same as he remembered, tall and mighty, with no major fluctuations in expression on his face. He was saying congratulations, but his hands were constantly moving, still busily reviewing memorials.
Xu Ren'er was a little puzzled: "Successfully completing the mission? Does this count?"
The King of Hell is really too busy. If he wasn't short of manpower and happened to pass by here, why would he come here in person?
Therefore, facing Xu Ren'er's question, he had no patience to answer, quickly got to the point, and then urged Xu Ren'er to make a decision:
"Although there were some discrepancies during the process, you have completed most of it conscientiously. Your overall performance is good, so you have passed.
However, the three tasks you completed later were not completed in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and they touched the edge of the gray area. But the person who led you through the gray area also gave us some energy, so I am willing to turn a blind eye and pretend that I didn't know anything.
However, your success reward needs to be modified.
You now have two choices. One is to reincarnate directly into a human being. I promise to give you a wonderful family.
The other option is to stay with your friends, but there are prerequisites."
Xu Ren'er quickly asked, "What are the prerequisites?"
Hearing the question, the King of Hell did not even raise his eyebrows and continued:
"It seems that you intend to choose the second one.
Don't you have the reward I gave you? The Sky-Breaking Search, which is the black-skinned clown in your hand.
Next, spend the rest of your life with your group of friends, using the black clown in your hand to help some poor families who have been separated from their wives and children to find their lost loved ones. This is the prerequisite you have to complete.
In addition to this, we should also do more good deeds in our daily lives.
The more good deeds you do, the more blessings you accumulate. The more blessings you accumulate, the longer you can stay in that world.
Remember, the amount of time you spend with your partners depends on the blessings you have accumulated.”
After he finished speaking, the King of Hell did not give Xu Ren'er any leeway, just like when they first met. With a wave of his hand, the space shattered and sent her back to Mo Youli and the others.
"Ren'er, okay, how do you feel?"
As soon as Xu Ren'er opened her eyes, a group of little heads came to her, looking her up and down curiously.
"Why do you still look like a dog?"
Tang Qiuyue asked a soul-searching question.
Mo Youli: "What form he wants to become depends on his mood. Now Ren'er can switch back and forth between human and dog forms freely."
"I see, my good disciple, let me see your true appearance!"
When Yu Hui heard this, he immediately made a request.
Xu Ren'er couldn't help but smile bitterly at this.
Pang Ningchun and Mo Xiaohe echoed in unison:
"I'm also very curious about what kind of person Ren'er is."
Tang Qiuyue and Tang Beiju didn't say anything, but their little heads were nodding frantically to express their stance.
Seeing this, Mo Youli raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Ren'er, can you please satisfy us?"
Xu Rener: ...
"Go back and look again! Go back and look again!"
Originally, Xu Ren'er didn't care how she looked in front of them, but the guys opposite her were talking back and forth, which made her feel embarrassed to show herself, so she started to make excuses.
"No! Ren'er! Just now, please!"
Tang Qiuyue said coquettishly.
"No! Go back and look again!"
Tang Beiju: "Just one glance?"
"No! Go back and look again!"
In an instant, there was wailing all around.
Xu Ren'er looked at the group of lovely people around her, a smile spread across her eyes, and she couldn't help but think:
Thank God for sending these lovely guys to me.
